“ A modern finance leader looks ahead by two or three years ; asks themselves ‘ how can we invest and lay the foundations to support further growth ?’”

James Haslam , Chief Financial Officer , ELMO Cloud HR & Payroll
Haslam divides the company into four segments : the financial and administrative function ; client services ; sales and marketing ; and R & D . “ All of these departments need great support and so we work closely with them to ensure that their needs are being met . This also extends to C-suite members of the company .”
To ensure these partnerships are cared for , Haslam notes that there are other companies that ELMO partners with in order to support automation .
